fTo. the plate A, -fig. 2, the. guiding-plane'or cup 0 1 is eastfwith'the pivot camber-D bored at the ju nctureof the line of guiding-planet.I also cast: the opening B,thi'ongh which the 1 arm l ffig. 5,'works;,thellioles a a w or also cast in i the plates for the purposeof securing the ;back to door-Jami). s s 1 1 I also curve thejside ofplate A to correspond withcnrveof jamb. a 1

.The..fr mt or working-part of hinge Elias the arml castontoitsl ihcerja'lhisarm runs at right angleswith face of front on twosides. 1

This section of the. arm fitsJthe opening B, fig. 1, and keeps the hingein position perpendicularly.

. To allow for the throw. of .hinge, the front section 30f arm iscarriedto'j the" side of plate, .giving'it a segmentform laterally.

- sate downwardat an angle corresponding to the depression of thesocket, so as to admit of a small opening in BEER-3,57 1 ,BRIDGEPORT,CONNECTICUT.

haters Patent No.112,313, dated March 7, 1 871.

ime sensemeesened' to in these was Patent and iniaklng part oi the,same.

The 'arm is thenextended down from the front 'section atany desiredangle, and terminates with the ease in enteling the arm, and to' lessenthe height. of opening.

1 The-manner of using is readily understood. The back of hinge is fittedto the door-jamb of carriage and secured in position, the hinges 'beingset as near the ends of door as deemed 'best. The front of binge is thensecured to the door by screws.

When it isdesired to .put the doorin place, the

ends of arm'are set into the opening and the hinge slides to its place,without further care, by the action of guiding-plane or cup 0.

' The advantages of .my invention are- First, the opening B is madesmaller and "regular inform, consequently adding to'its beauty aswellasstrength.

Second, the ease with which the door is put in 7 place. Theguiding-plane or cup c carries the pivot directly to its position,whereas in most of the old hinges the arm is carried out at rightangles, andthe end secured with .I' claim as my invention-- and arm F,thelever part of the'latter curved down- -ward at an angle to correspondwith the depression of the socket, and furnished with a ranged asdescribed.-

- In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specificationbefore two subscribing witnesses.
